I’ve Been Reincarnated as the Strongest Villain in an NTR Eroge, so I’m Going to Break the Heroines’ Doom Flags on Behalf of the Main Character! - Chapter 14 - Shiori’s High Sense of Justice

Chapter 14 – Shiori’s High Sense of Justice

“So, about what we discussed, have you thought about it?”

“Well… Sure, I guess.”

The day after the tamagoyaki lunch box, after school, I had come to the student council room.

I had actually planned to talk to Shiori during lunch, but Akari brought along a slightly burnt tamagoyaki, saying “I made some too!” While Shiori and I were giving Akari advice, before we knew it, the lunch break was over.

“Personally, I have no problem with it. But whether the person in question will accept me or not is the tricky part, isn’t it?”

“You don’t need to worry about that. I’ll persuade them. I’ll tell them what a wonderful guy you are.”

“It’d be great if they would believe such nonsense… But honestly, it’s Kinoshita, right? The one from my class?”

“…As expected of Ibuse-kun. I see you’ve figured it out.”

“There are guys who are more suitable than me for Kinoshita, aren’t there? You know, among the people the president knows, there’s Miyano.”

“Miyano-kun… I considered him too, but…”

As soon as I mentioned the protagonist’s name, Shiori’s face became sour.

“Recently, he’s been a bit on edge. It’s probably because I talked to him about you. I tried to convince him that you’re not a bad guy… but it backfired. Plus, apparently things aren’t going well with Mizukami-san either. They had a fight the other day or something…”

“I see, so that’s what it was…”

I’ve been thinking that the protagonist’s gaze has been more intense recently than before, so this is why. He probably can’t stand the fact that not only is his cute junior getting along with Ibuse Reo, but his reliable senpai too.

Well, I understand how he feels. From his perspective, it must feel almost like NTR.

Even so, I was surprised to hear that things aren’t going well with Noa either. Unlike in the game, I’m not around to interfere with them.

I thought they’d quickly start dating and enjoy their youth… but could it be that he’s on the sister route instead of the Noa route?

“So that’s why it’s difficult to rely on him right now. Do you understand?”

“…I do. But do you even need me in the first place? With the President around, you could probably throw most guys out on your own, right?”

“I see. So, you’re saying you wouldn’t mind if I got hit on at that event?”

“……”

“Even though you cared so much about me, even getting into a fight to protect me… Oh, I see. Lately, you’ve been infatuated with your cute junior. What a shame. I suppose I’ll have to look for a good match for myself.”

“…That’s a bit harsh.”

“…So you’ll go along with the event, right?”

Shiori looked at me with a smug look on her face. Knowing Shiori, she could probably handle most idiots. However, she’s definitely weak when it comes to getting hit on. It’s easy to imagine her getting swept away by this and that. (T/N: So cute~!!)

…Could this be a new flag? It’s possible that because I had broken Shiori’s doom flag, Shiori hadn’t quit school, and Nanami had come to her for advice, which led to the birth of a new flag.

Due to the nature of this game, I’m too scared to find out what’s going to happen from here.

If it’s just Nanami, it should be fine. But there’s also Shiori, the heroine with the most disgusting scenario in the game. This could turn into a huge mess due to the game’s forced events…

“…Understood. No matter what, I’ll go with you.”

“…Hmm… I see. Thanks.”

Shiori nodded happily at my words. I think her face was a little red.

“…W-well. That’s the end of the matter. I’ll tell Nanami myself. If Nanami is okay with it, we can meet again tomorrow.”

Shiori gestured for me to leave as if trying to hide something. Huh? There’s no need to rush like that——

Knock, knock, knock

“Shiori-senpai. Are you there?”

““?!?!””

The moment I tried to open the door, I heard a boy’s voice from the other side.

This voice… It’s probably the protagonist. Shiori seemed to have noticed as well and was very flustered.

“Ah, ah! Yes, I’m here! But could you wait for a moment!?”

Shiori immediately grabbed my hand and spoke to me in a low voice.

“Please, hide under my desk. If you and he meet here like this, it could turn into a big problem.”

“…Okay.”

I also wanted to know how the protagonist was doing. For now, I’ll obediently follow Shiori’s instructions.

“Sorry! I kept you waiting!”

Shiori was a little flustered, but she opened the door herself and welcomed the protagonist.

“No, not at all… By the way, Shiori-senpai, have you reconsidered about Ibuse?”

I was wondering what he came to talk about, so it’s about me. Does he have nothing better to do?

“…There’s nothing to reconsider. My opinion remains the same. He’s not such a bad person. At least, not right now.”

“Then tell me the reason! First Akari, then Shiori-senpai… You two haven’t told me any details, but you say Ibuse is not a bad person… There’s no way I can believe that!”

“I already told you the reason, didn’t I? You asked me, and after talking with him, I simply judged him to be that way. There’s nothing special about it. That’s really all there is.”

Of course, neither of them could give a detailed explanation.

What, the heroines are supposed to say that I saved them when they were about to get raped? There’s no way such a story could be true.

Especially in Akari’s case, if she were to tell the protagonist, she would have to explain the circumstances leading up to that point as well.

Moreover, from the way things are going with the protagonist right now, even if they did tell him, he probably wouldn’t believe it anyway.

That said, from the protagonist’s perspective, it’s quite a difficult situation. Hopefully, he can resolve the matter peacefully without making the wrong choice…

“…But Shiori-senpai, you know about it, don’t you? The story about a fight that happened around here recently. I heard that some of our students were involved.”

“Yeah. I heard it from my father.”

“Then, do you know this? There’s talk that Ibuse was the cause of that fight.”

“…Oh, I’ve never heard that before.”

I’ve never heard that before either. Well, it’s not entirely wrong since I was the one who started it.

“You say that guy has changed, Senpai, but he’s still getting into fights! I bet it was over something trivial! He hasn’t changed at all! I’m sure Akari and Shiori-senpai are just being fooled for now, but eventually, he’s going to attack you——”

“Hey, Kaede-kun.”

Ah, Shiori snapped. Her voice has become colder and lower.

“I understand that you’re worried about us. Thank you. I appreciate it. But… please, don’t say anything more unnecessary today. Otherwise, I might have to reconsider my opinion of you.”

Scary. If Shiori said something like that to me, I’d probably cry.

“B-but…”

“…I admit, you do have a point. I also looked into his past. He used to get into fights all the time and hardly attended school. He was a delinquent.

But what about now? He comes to school regularly and his grades aren’t bad. From what I heard about the fight the other day, he was trying to protect a female student.”

“…B-but! That girl’s probably a scumbag like him too——”

Ahhh…

“I told you not to say unnecessary things, didn’t I?”

“Eh…”

This is bad. He’s completely messed up.

“…I thought you were a guy who didn’t judge people by their appearances or bad rumors, a person who could see things for what they truly are. But it seems that only applies when it comes to the opposite sex.”

“N-no, I… I was just thinking about you two…”

“Thinking about us? What? You have Mizukami Noa, don’t you? Do you have time to waste on this?”

“That’s not the kind of relationship Noa and I have…”

“Oh, I see. So it wasn’t that kind of relationship. You two seemed so close, it’s surprising. Well then, let me say this. I don’t have that kind of relationship with you either. Not from this moment on. So, please, don’t concern yourself with me anymore.”

“Eh… Wait… No, I…”

“After you’ve had a proper talk with Ibuse-kun and determined that he’s not the same person as before, and if you still have something to say, then you can come again. I’ll listen to you then.”

“…W-wait, please. I’m sorry. So——”

“Mind your language. I’m still your senpai. Be careful with how you speak.”

After Shiori said that, she slammed the door to the student council room shut. The protagonist never opened the closed door, and after a while, heavy footsteps could be heard receding into the distance.

“Haaahhh~”

Shiori let out a loud sigh, which was unusual for her, and crouched down on the spot. She just said such harsh things to the boy she was supposed to have liked. It must have been very painful for her.

“Wasn’t that a bit of an exaggeration?”

“I know… I know, but… I just couldn’t hold it in…”

I crouched down next to the dejected Shiori and decided to offer some encouragement.

“It couldn’t be helped. That’s just how guys are. They tend to be biased when it comes to girls. And the bad reputation I had up until last year wasn’t a lie. It’s only natural he’d be worried about you, President.”

“I understand that too. But still…”

“…I know. When it comes to someone you love, it hurts even more.”

“Whaa…?! Just how much do you know…”

“Ah, seriously? I was just joking.”

“……You’re the worst.”

“…I’m sorry.”

After that, I spent the time relaxing in the student council room until Shiori recovered from the shock. After a while, she regained her composure and asked me to buy her ice cream on the way home.
